    America's greatest living actor?

    I was flipping channels the other day and came across an ad for aTNT original movie and it said something about Robert Duval being America's greatest actor.While I respect and admire Duvall as an actor,I think he is not the greatest IMHO.

    I started thinking about who I regarded as the greatest American actor.I careful in this to distinguish greatest from favorite.Many names come to mind DeNiro,Hoffman,Newman,Pacino,Spacey,Hanks,,Depp,Ha ckman,Ford,Denzel,Cage,Redford,Nicholson.My conclusion IMHO is the greatest American actor is Tom Hanks.He has proven equally adept at comedy ,drama,action,and any other genre.He is a chameleon who can become any charcter,in any setting,in any time frame. Hanks is my choice,any other opinions?

    Switzer '73-'88 157-29-4 .837(DYNASTY 2) 3 NC
    Stoops '99- PRESENT 179-46.793 (DYNASTY 3) 1 NC and still WAITING

    It's clearly Burt Reynolds, with Tom Selleck a close second.
